much room; we don't want whole sheet
of paper to write down the names" Per-
haPs l had better tear out one leaf from
my memorandum book and ask you to fill
up both sides of it with the names of such
institutions. son." you say, that would
be too much room; you wouldn't want so
much room as that" Well, then, suppose
you count them on your ten fingers. ''Ob,"
you say, ''not quite SO much as that"
Well, then, count them on the fngers of
one hand. Oh" you say, I'VE don't want
quite so much room as that" Suppose.
then, you halt aud count on one finger the
name Of any institution founded by Infidel-
ity, supported entirely by Infdelity, pro-
nounced against God and the Christian re-
ligion, yet toiling to make the world better.
Not one! Not one!
Is Infidelty so poor, so Storytelling, so
mean, so useless? Get out, you miserable
pauper Of the universe! Crawl into some
rat-hele of everlasting nothingness! In
fidelity standing to-day amid the suffering,
grooming, dying nations, and yet doing alb
soiutely nothing, sage trying to impede
those who are telling until they fall ex-
hausted into their graves in trying to mako
the world better. Gather up all the work,
all the mereiful work, that Infdslity has
ever done, add it all together, and there is
not SO much nobility in it as in the smallest
bead Of that Sister of Charity who last
night went up the dark alley of the town,
put jar of jelly for an invalid appetite on
a broken stand, and then knelt on the bare
floor, praying the mercy Of Christ upon tho
dying soul.
lnfidelity scrapes no lint for the wound
ed, bakes ne bread for the hungry, shakes
up no pillow for the sick, rouses no comfort
for the bereft, gilds no grave for the dead.
While Christ, our Christ, our wounded
Christ our risen Christ, the Christ of this
old-fashicned Bible-blessed be His glorious
name foreverl-our Christ stands this even
ing pointing to the hospital, or to the asy-
lam, saying: ~ was sick and ye gave Me
coucn, was lame and ye gave Me crutch;
1 was 6ilnd and ye physicianed My eye
sight; was orphaned and ye mothered My
soul; was lost on the mountains and ye
brought Me home; inasmuch as ye did it to
one OF the least of these, ye did it to Me-"
THE BIBLE NOT OBSOLETE.
People tell me the Bible is obsolete and
Christianity worn out. It does not seem SO
20 me. In the first century there were a
few Thousand Christians. A few years
ago, when the statistics were taken, there
we're oU,OUO, O00. The most popular IN
'titution on earth is the Church, the most
popular book is the Bible, the most popular
nan is Jesus.
ENCOURAGEMENT TO THE SOCIETY.
Go forth, then, in high hope to your
.reat work of evaugelizati0n. We toll not
n our own strength. Itseemsd an insight

ter Scott wrote ''The Lady of the Lake,;
not SO much evidence that Shakespeare wrote
"Hamlet''; not SO much evidence that John
Milton wrote paradise Lost"-as there is
evidence that the Lord God Almighty, by
| the hands of the prophets, evangelists, and
apostles, wrote this Book. Suppose book
now to be written which came in conflict
| with great many things, and was written
| by bad men or impestors, how long would
| such book stand :? 1t would be secuted
by everybody. And say if that Bible had
been an imposi tion-ifit had not been writ
ten by the men who said they wrote tiff
it had been mere collection of falsehoods,
do you not suppose that it would have been
Immediately rejected by the peoplep II
Job, and Isaiah, and jeremiah, and Paul,
| and Peter, and John were imposters, they
would have been secuted by generations
and nations. If that Book has come down
through fires of centuries without a scar it
is because there is nothing in it destructible.
How near have they come to destroying the
Bible? When they began their opposition
there we're two or three Thousand copies of
it, Now there are three thousand millions,
as far as | can calculate. These Bible
truths, notwithstanding all the opposition,
have gone into all languages Into the phil
osophic Greek, the flowing Italian, the
graceful German, the passionate French,
the picturesque Indian, and the exhaustless
Anglo Saxon. Under the painters pencil
the birth and the crucifixien and the resur-
rection glow on the walls of palaces; or un-
der the engraver's knife speak from the
mantel of the mountain cabin; while stones,
touched by the sculptor's chisel start up in
to preaching apostles and ascending mar
tyrs. Now, do you not suppose if that Book
had been an imposition and falsehood, it
would have gone down under these ceaseless
fires of opposition?
THE SCRIPTURES MEDICINE.
Further, suppose that there was a great
pestilenee going over the earth and hun
dreds of thousands of men were dying of
that pestilence, and some one should find
medicine that cured ten thousand people,
would not everybody acknowledge that that
must be good medicine? Why, some one
would say: "Do you deny it? There have
been ten thousand people cured by it," l
simply state the fact that there have been
hundreds of thousands of Christian men and
women who say they have felt the truthful
ness of that Book and its power in their
souls. 1t has cured them of the worst
leprosy that ever came down on our earth |
namely, che leprosy of sin; and if can |
point you to multitudes who say they have |
felt the power of that cure are you not rea-
sonabls enough to acknowledge the fact that
there must be some power in the medicine |
Will yon take the evidence of millions of
patients who have been cured or will you !

result was, tnat GruDertS almanac there
after was by many accepted as a reliable
prognosticator of the weather, and the mis-
take of the boy-which proved to be a re.
markable hit,-if it did not, in the language
of Col. Sellers, shave millions in it," was
yet worth great deal to the German GAL

The authority of almanac authors" OF
rather that of the weather forecasts they
publish, is of no value, for their weather
representations are based neither upon cor
rect observations nor upon philosophic
principles.
"Put not your faith in weather-prophets, "
nor in those moon-struck people whe be-
lieve that the so-called changes of the moon
cause changes in the weather. The imme-
diate causes which influence the weather
have not their home in the moon, but in
the atmosphere which envelopes the earth
The sun and not the moon is the original
source Of causes that effect the changes of
the weather.
If there were no moon and no moons
changes, there would still be changes of
the weather, for the same causes that pro-
duce them now would still exist. Heat is
the original cause of all the changes of the
weather, and that reflected from the moon
is so small as not to be appreciabio

JACKSON. MISS, January l3.-Thers
was very large crowd OF ladies and
gentlemen assembled in the epscious
hall OF The Deaf and Dumb Institution
latt light to witness the COM
petitive drill between the Capital
Light Guards and the George Green
Guards, the latter company being
composed Of eighteen Of the society
young ladies here. The Light Guards,
under the command OF Capt. George
Green. bsiug in full dress uniform tx
ecu ed the manual and all the COM
pany field movements in fine st. lie.
The ladies were dressed IN white
dresses trimmed with gold and white,
the colors OF the Light Guards. They
were also drilled by Capt. Green, exc.
cutting the came movements that
the Light Guards did. They had rods
trimmed WITH gold and white to rep.
resent guns. They excelled the LiVht
Guards in all the movements. They
have been drilling tor this occasion
ne lrly every day excspt Sundays, for
a month past! The obj act of this dis
play was to make money 10 be app,o-
priated toward the expenses of the
Capital Light Guards to Washington
City, where they have entered for the
co npeitive drill to take placs in May
next. Quite a handsome sum was
realized. After the drill dancing was
INDUCED in until late hour.
This case OF the State VS.. VIM. S eele,
charged with the murder of Melon
Potter in ia k5on in August last, has
occupied the Circuit COURT all day.
The evidence for the prosecution was
concluded at O'clock this afternoon,
whereupon, at the request OF counsel
for the defense, court adjourned until 8
o'c 'ock tomorrow morning to enable
them TO procure the attendance Of abb
sent witnesses Potter was stabbed to
death as he stepped from the train
from Vicksburg, after night, by some
one standing above him on the pat
form OF the car, who was I'M
known at the time and who
made his escape. Suspicion pointed
to this defendant and some
days after the killing he was arrested,
but released. He was subs equsntly
rearrested in Vicksburg, brought here
and confined in Jail. After being con-
fined he confessed that he killed Pot
ter, aud gave as reason for 30 doing
that Potter had threatened to have
him and his pal arrested for picking
his pocket on the train. These con-
fessions, made to several different par
ties at different times, is the only evil
deDce against him. He plead not
guilty 10 the indictment. His counsel
objected to the introduction OF the
confessions, az being incompetent tes-
timony, and not being free and volun-
tary. The objections were oserruled
and exceptions taken.

MoREmrowS as a MINING CEN


A correspondent Of the Baltimore

the neighborhood OF MorristowD,

ton, but want OF enterprise among
the local capitalists leave them open
to strangers. Sons prospecting is
going on, and samples are gathered

are extensive and varied, Capitalists
from abroad are beginning 10 investi-

writer adds, that parties late

City works and mines, now
reported to be s)ld TO an English COM
pany, are 10 oking to this section with
a view to opening mines and building
works here. Parties are also looking

Tennesseeans view with apathy and
Indifference. The fact is worth atten-

Another Protest.

To tho Editors Of the Appeal:
wish to correct d statement which
appeared in this mornings issue. II
ia thus: "Four thousand dollars In.
vested and out OF debt is the a uancial
condition OF the Mission Home"
This is calculated to make an incorrect
impression upon the mind Of the pub
lie. The Women's Christian Associa-
ton, / am thankful to say, is out OF
debt. This has been brought about
by the efforts Of some OF It's members
and the liberal responses OF some
generous hearted gentlemen of our
city. There have been two legacies-
one Of $1,000 and one of 5000 the
association, and smaller amounts
donated by friends to the amount OF
$500. Part Of this has had the object
for its use dts gnats d-namely, a chill
dren's home separate from the present
one. Our Board OF Directors have de-
posted this money, to be subject to
their order when needed. The Mis-
sion Home is only one branch Of
the association. 1t has never had,
nor has 1t now, a monthly
income lnuopenuent oil donations,
sufficient to meet its expenses, which
have been reduced to the most eco
nomiCal basis. As an association we
pay no salaries. The only two EN-.
ployed in the Home are paid by an
ever true friend. The Board OF Man
agers OF the Home feel as much the
necessity now as ever to solicit men,
berd. monthly contributions and dona-
tions. No pecuniary support has ever
bfen received from our municipal,
county or State governments, and with
few exceptions, no church in our
city has ever taken collection for the
benefit OF this work, though its value
and desert are generally admitted, and
pastors and people contr butte 10 indi-
viduals.
/ hope this correcti IN is Efficient to
disabuse the mind or minds Of per-
sons who think We have recently
heired little fortune, for that would
seem such to us.
